Hi folks,
I was quite pleased with this so I thought I'd share. Might be useful for others.
We use our shower in the van quite a bit, and we tend to wet down, switch off, soap up, rinse off etc. I think I spend more time (and hence water) getting the temperature right than I do actually showering. I bought a shower head from eBay with a trigger, but it was rubbish frankly.
Then I chanced upon this. It's just a ball valve with a male connector one end and female the other. 3/8" BSP, fits right onto the outlet from the mixer. Get the temperature right once, and then just shut it all off with this. Doesn't seem to reduce the flow, and it's easily able to hold back the pressure of the pump. In fact we don't switch the taps off now - just leave them in the right positions for next time.
£2.55 delivered from eBay. Fitted with a bit of PTFE tape to make the thread watertight. Easy.
